MPS Monitor, integrated with Universal Print, is the first cloud platform to bring together a single, easy-to-implement, and cost-effective managed print service (MPS) solution that fulfills the most important needs of dealers and customers.
Print management and device management are essential parts of any MPS offering. Until now, there has been no platform on the market that provided multi-brand remote monitoring and management (RMM), user management, job tracking, rule-based printing, and pull printing, all in a single cloud platform. Having different applications for managing various aspects of the same fleet is far from being optimal. This is even more true with a large percentage of the workforce currently working from home. Moving all print-related processes to the cloud is a compelling and urgent need for customers and MPS providers—and a modern and optimized MPS environment is ideally based on a single cloud platform to manage devices, users, print jobs, security policies, reporting, and analytics.
This is even more true in the current work from home (WFH) environment, where moving all print-related processes to the cloud is a compelling and urgent need for customers and MPS Providers.
MPS Monitor integrated with Universal Print is the first cloud platform that brings all these requirements together into a single, easy to implement and cost-effective solution that fulfills most of the Managed Print Services needs of dealers and customers.
Why is MPS Monitor integrating Universal Print?
MPS Monitor is a leader in the RMM space, with about one million devices monitored and hundreds of thousands of data collection agent (DCA) connectors installed with customers all over the world.
This integration aims to provide to MPS Monitor’s users all the Universal Print features by leveraging the existing MPS Monitor infrastructure, thus enabling a seamless and fully integrated user experience from a single web portal with single sign-on access.
Customers with MPS Monitor DCA installed on their network do not need any additional software or hardware component, as the DCA performs all the Universal Print tasks.
Reporting and business intelligence tools in MPS Monitor will integrate user and print job information from Universal Print, joined with existing device data, to provide a full and comprehensive view of print costs, usage patterns, and predictive analytics.
What will you get from MPS Monitor Universal Print Integration?
- A single web application to manage printing devices, users, and print jobs
- A single sign-on experience that can be accessed using your Active Directory user account – no proliferation of systems and different credentials
- No other connector installation – the MPS Monitor DCA does all the work
- No manual printer registration and configuration on Azure – MPS Monitor does this for you
- Users and job reporting integrated into the self-service Microsoft Power BI platform integrated with MPS Monitor Portal
- Pull printing via mobile app
How does it work?
You can enable Universal Print for all your existing customers from within MPS Monitor, as long as they use Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) services or Microsoft 365. MPS Monitor automatically syncs with Azure AD to activate the Universal Print tenant. You will not need to install any additional connector, as the MPS Monitor DCA is automatically enabled to work as a Universal Print Connector.
You can configure MPS Monitor to register for you in Universal Print every device you monitor, and activate the offering for print queues, pull printing, and all Univesral Print functionality.
How can I get more information on MPS Monitor and Universal Print?

These last weeks we got several cases that our customers reported that they need to identify the query that is taking time and they are not able to find it. In this video recorded in Spanish we covered several techniques to identify it.
For example, in .NET we have the option to debug our application using instrumentation to know the time spent. You could use it in combination with StopWatch, Query Data, SQL Server Management Studio and the Portal.
I hope that you could enjoy this video in spanish. This session was recorded in NetCoreConf event this last 2nd Oct 2020.

Estas últimas semanas hemos tenidos casos de soporte que nuestros clientes solicitan identificar la query que está tomando mucho tiempo en ejecutarse. En este video en español vamos a revisar ciertos técnicas que nos permitirán encontrarlo.
Por ejemplo, en .NET tenemos una opción para depurar nuestra aplicación usando la instrumentación que nos permite conocer los tiempos invertidos en cada proceso. Esto se puede usar en StopWatch, Query Data, SQL Server Management Studio, Portal, etc.
Espero que lo encuentres interesante. Esta session fue grabada en el evento NetCoreConf de este pasado 2 de Octubre 2020.

These last weeks we got several cases that our customers reported the following error message: Login timeout expired – A network-related or instance-specific error has occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. Server is not found or not accessible. Check if instance name is correct and if SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. For more information see SQL Server Books Online.
TCP Provider: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond, in the following video I would like to share with you what is the issue, how to identify, fix and prevent it.
